Get Ready for the Parasites!!!

Once again the political parasite capital of the world, The Great State of New York, has once again extended it's lethal tenticals through cyberspace.

A simple question. Do you live in another state, yet work for a company based in New York? For example, a national company based in New York but working as a salesperson in say Kentucky?

Well, one poor sap is learning and Im sure many will now follow suit. Why? mainly because another out of control judge who would rather find ways to strip working people out of cash than do something else.

This gentlemen works for a New York company based in New York but lives in another state, Tennessee. He travels as a salesperson and connects to his WHQ online. New York has now sued this man for back taxes, yes, back New York State taxes that New York says this non-resident now owes.

In the judges words, it is the Great State of New York providing brick and mortar to his company and this man "owes" his living to the Great State of New York.

And they wonder why the Northeast, (Blue States, Hmmmm) are now becoming the "old rust belt" with a dwindling business base.
Oh yes, it is the aftermath of 9-11 cries the political parasite.
Sorry, it is socialist of this ilk that causes the ruin and the loss of opportunity.

Something tells me that other tax loving states might follow this banter.

Funny isn't it? We fought a Revolution to free ourselves from a tax repressive government known as England in the 1700's. now in 2005, thanks to big government politicians with our federal, state, local, utility, sales, property, and "telecommuting" tax, the United States now exceeds England in total taxation of Gross personal income by 1%...

Oh yes, to make sure I am not being partisian, though I did say Blue states I do not see this clown we currently have in office doing anything different, so don't say he gave a tax break when there was nothing done to confront the upcoming bite your butt AMT.

It gets worse. New York politicos are pushing for a PER SHARE tax on every share of stock traded on the NYSE -- the proceeds of which will go to NYC schools. Some poor schmuck in Nebraska, trying to invest a few bucks for his retirement, will get his stock transactions taxed to help support an already bloated, dysfunctional school system in somebody else's state. What a rip off!

 

NY used to tax the retirement income of people who retired from jobs in NY but retired elsewhere. IIRC, that practice was finally struck down in court.

They believe all is from the state and that people exist but for the state and who controls the state.

 

I say get this guy (the judge) dressed up in his black Satanic priestly robes, publicly strip him naked, have him arrested and thrown in jail for indecent exposure, and tell him to get a real job when he gets out! Moreover, sieze all of this judge's assets (as well as all future income) and give him life without parole for YHWH knows how many counts of theft (depending on how many people get jammed up because of his airhead ruling)! In addition, the State of New York should owe im the amount of his alleged back-tax bill plus treble damages! This will prevent any other out-of-control fascists in black Satanic priestly robes from making such dictatorial judge-made law in the future! By the way, does anyone know whether that anus was a Democrat or a Republican?

 

Re: Re: Get Ready for the Parasites!!!

There are no Republicans in New York -- only a few RINOs (Republican in Name Only) like Mike Bloomberg and George Pataki.

 

Re: Re: Get Ready for the Parasites!!!

Your hyperbolic nonsense aside, I say we do nothing to da judge and da judge stop doing to us. And I say that as a New Yorker of, soon, 60 years.

 

Of course in the effort to condemn blue states (???), a few details were left out. The man in question lives in a state with no income tax, and he enjoys a higher-than-average NY salary and benefits. Are you arguing, then, that he is entitled to paying no income tax, while the rest of us must pay our state taxes?

 

He is entitled to pay taxes in the juridsiction where he lives, where he has representation and not to some arrogant far-off government, where he has no representation. By the way, if his state has no income tax, he probably pays more in sales taxes and property taxes than you. Or maybe his state government provides fewer services than yours.

Gosh! Even Rudy Giuliani is a RINO? Why was NYC chosen for the RNC in '04? - Ted.

 

Re: Re: Re: Get Ready for the Parasites!!!

Actually, I think that if judges (and for that matter, prosecutors and police officers) were held personally responsible for their actions while in performance of their duties, they might tend to be far less arrogant. Granted, I suppose I might maintain that there is at least some minute hypothetical possibility that maybe we don't necessarily need to go quite so far as setting up Courts of Revolutionary Tribunal or Courts of Star Chamber for corrupt judges, prosecutors, and cops (and maybe politicians, too), with mediaeval torture dungeons as well, but such an option does look attractive for this guy (and, no doubt, there are others who deserve it as well).

 

Alas, we have all become mere serfs of the corporate state!

 

Paying taxes is not an entitlement; it's a social cost that is required in this society. His company provides him benefits and a salary. His company pays workers comp and probably medical and retirement benefits. He enjoys all the perks that the other poor slobs in his company enjoy who cannot telecommute. In fact, he enjoys more perks, as he gets to telecommute and spend his NY salary in TN. I mean, if we're going to turn this into blue bashing, then we can just as easily bash the red states who seem to believe that we're entitled to every creature comfort that society can provide, it's just that we don't want to pay for it with taxes. This, of course, leads to the typical borrow and spend mentality of big conservative governments, and crank theories like supply-side economics. Now we have Greenspan admitting that, er...,maybe tax cuts weren't such a hot idea a few years back. You can fill in the rest.

 

With all due respects, do not bash me for living in a red state! It was only by 100,000 votes! And I'm not sure all the votes got counted! And I sure as H E double hockey sticks did not vote for some two-time election-stealing little boy who resented being thrown out of Daddy's house eight years before he stole it back the first time! My point was that he should only have to pay state taxes in Tennessee because he only has representation in Tennessee (not in New York)! - Ted.

 

Any good lawyers out there willing to advise me as to whether Tom57's insinuation that I am (gasp!) a Republican rises to the level of libel or defamation of character or any good, fun, happy thing like that? - Ted.

 

Every worker for a New York company should pay New York taxes? I worked for a New York company with employees all over the US and the only ones to pay New York taxes were the New Yorkers. The Tennesseans working for that company should pay New York taxes?

A larger such New York company is IBM. Care to think what you are saying would mean for IBM emloyees around the country?

 

Re: Re: Re: Re: Get Ready for the Parasites!!!

NYC was chosen to send a message to Islamic terrorists that the country would rally around it in the face of their attack. Republicans knew they would face incredibly hostile conditions there from the natives. Do you not remember the demonstrations involving hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers? Eighty-six percent of registered voters in NYC are Democrat, and the large majority of the state as a whole is too. Yes, of course Giuliana IS a RINO. I happen to like him a lot, but he is a big supporter of key Democratic initiatives like abortion rights and affirmative action. Most southern Democrats -- in fact, both of them (LOL) -- are more conservative than Rudy. BTW, in the case of Bloomberg, he was a lifelong Democrat who blasted the GOP platform at every turn, and only ran as a Republican because he didn't think he could win the Democratic primary. New Yorkers know damned well he's no Republican.

 

Without taking sides here I note that this employee was a telecommuter, which was the key factor in this situation. Perhaps the employer was at fault for not withholding taxes.

 

Being represented for the purposes of determining how much taxes one will pay and how those tax monies will be spent is.

 

What leads to the typical borrow and spend mentality is the fact that the Constitution has built-in age requirements that virtually assure that the government will be dominated by disgusting and selfish old geezers who would love to spend money on wild living and send the bill to their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

I say that the tag-end Baby Boomers (those closer to 1964 than they are to 1946, i.e., younger than Clinton and Bush II), Baby Busters, Gen Xers, and Millennials should form a coalition, establish their own constitutional conventions in each state, propose and force through certain amendments, to-wit:

(a) an amendment abolishing age minimums on any federal office;

(b) an amendment allowing amendments to be proposed as ballot issues (as is done in many states nowadays);

(c) an amendment that allows the recall of federal officials; and

(d) an amendment calling for an elective Supreme Court (as is done in Ohio).

Then, the following actions need to be taken:

(a) install an 18-yr-old black lesbian in the White House;

(b) turn out any Congressperson over 30 (except for a few token old geezers of maybe up to 40something who pass the appropriate litmus tests);

(c) recall the entire Supreme Court; and

(d) install a Supreme Court composed entirely of brand new law school grads.

 

And I suppose, Tom57, that you are one of the Philosopher-Kings that gets to decide how much taxes the little people will pay? - Ted.
